Just a reminder the 'Dark Eldar Slaves' where origonaly part of the Thudd the Barbarian set - in an ironic, taking-the-piss out of Gorr way.

No they weren't, the pose is similar but the Dark Eldar slaves were new models that came with Asdrubael Vect.

MY LIFE FOR YOU!
So I am working on my Eldar Corsair list in order to figure out my money spending, and I have a nice 1500 list together.

That being said, I am torn about how to arm my Phoenix. My options are stock pulse laser, twin linked Sun cannons, or twin linked bright lances. (Other armament includes 2 shuriken cannons, and 2 Phoenix missile launchers)

Pray you get the models cheap on ebay and proxy them for a better army?

EDIT: Slightly more serious they still have melta in scouting rhinos and exorcists aren't horrible. Ally in some mechanicus with grav/droppod marines/a knight and take some forgeworld for your fliers.

It's interesting how sparse it seems compared with salute.

It other news I have just got some evil heads from maxmini. I haven't used them yet but they are very crisp and detailed. I got some secret weapon gas mask heads which seem good too. I am going to use them with my new veermyn to make mutant miners for my cult militia.

I only filmed around 4 yesterday, an hour before closing - the retail line went all the way to the video game area first thing in the morning.

Can't do interviews but will get photos and video of the Golden Demon stuff (I have a model in there, fingers crossed to make the first cut).

Combi-Ultra Bolter: Instead of dealing damage, this allows you to put down a duplicate Captain Centos anywhere in the weapon's range. Also it's not a combi you can just use it every turn.

I've just been painting the original sculpt of this as a stand in HQ for my 30k army. It's a good re-imaging but it really doesn't need special rules eurgh.

I dig the mini but that's only because I'm a sucker for old school stuff, and I've painted the original up for my Crimson Fists back in the day. I know they look cool, but man power fists on captains in power armor are not very useful. Maybe he can hit at initiative or something goofy.

Base is done, took me the better part of the day to cut a knight in half. For now (unless I decide to pin it) the Ghorgon is held on by magnets, it'll definitely make painting much easier.

Did Forge World release a drop pod back in the day? I foolishly bought someone's Space Marine lot and one of the drop pods is heavy resin. It's very similar to the plastic kit, but about 90% the size and subtly different in sculpting, so I don't think it ia a bad recast.

Does it have the chair/harness assembly in the middle? Forge World released a dreadnought drop pod that doesn't have that and is (I think) a bit larger than the standard one.

There also seems to be this one with guns in it.

Yeah, there used to be a Forgeworld drop pod IIRC. It was featured in the IA3 Talos Campaign book, and featured a version that was just a pod that opened and unleashed a poo poo ton of missiles or something, so there must have been a model.

It's fully resin and I think solid in the middle, so it's not either of those.

Probably a recast. All drop pods produced by FW open up. I have a vague memory of them doing a standard one before the plastic kit released but I can't remember.

In the Emperor's name, let none survive.
The shooty pod is a Deathstorm or Deathwind, can't remember the precise name. In 30k at least it's between 80-120 pts depending on upgrades. Drops down, unleashes D3 shots (eg that's D3x4 assault cannon shots) at everything within 12" at bs2, then fires it's 5 guns separately at bs4 subsequently.

You can give it 2 krak missile shots per gun which tbh is quite dangerous to leave in the back field.

Yeah that sounds like the original FW Drop Pod, if it's a solid block. I believe it looked like it had space for 5 Marines instead of ten, and wasn't as hollow as the plastic pod. There's a blog from 2009 with it here.

I've got Golden Demon photos as well plus many shots of the very cool Iron Warriors/World Eaters display coming, will upload them after editing.

For everyone that wanted a show model, they're on the way (and already going for £40-50 on ebay) and will be posted out soon, plus the shirt and hat I got and drat you for making me get a hat as well

I have a quick list building question in regard to my Eldar Prince.

What seems more valuable. Giving my jetbike mounted HQ Rampage, and his jetbike escorts (3 jetbike riders, and one jetbike baron armed with venom blades and 3 scatter lasers) rage, or giving my HQ the Mask of Secrets in order to make him fearless and confer -2 ld? The rage/rampage also forces them to assault any enemy unit within 8 inches, but allows them to shoot at one unit, then assault the 8 inch unit if I want.

Obviously I'm biased towards the 4th, but you could do some black 5th co. dudes? Or grey 8th for the reserve assault company.

It's probably because whoever printed out the placards in front of the models forgot they had the Forge World template paper loaded in the printer, and gently caress reprinting that stuff, don't you know how expensive ink is?
